I suggest that you check the price tags on the two systems.
I would bet that the Apple setup costs more than twice the amiga setup
does.

(CBM could make this happen, but then I doubt you could afford an A3000
if they did. I sure couldn't. Heck, I'd be happy if I could have some
expansion memory, and ecstatic with a hard drive too!)

This is tough since there really isn't an HDTV standard yet.
There are lots of proposals, but I have not heard of
any kind of consensus yet. I could easily be wrong.
